Brain Teaser

OK Guys! Here's one for you to figure out:

Three Mormon women attending BYU Women's Conference went to check into their hotel. The room was only $30.00, so each shared the cost by paying $10 each. A few minutes after they left the front desk, the guy who checked them in realized he had overcharged them. The room was only $25, so he called for the bell hop to go to their room and give them back their $5.

The bell hop, not knowing how to split $5 evenly between the three women, decided to just pocket the extra $2 and gave each of the women $1 back. So . . . here's the question: The women, having been given their $1 back, each paid $9. $9 times 3 is $27, plus the $2 the bell hop kept, equals $29. What happened to the other $1?

Just a warning: You who are attending BYU Women's Conference, BEWARE OF DISHONEST BELL HOPS!
